Answers are 72 and 108 and 108

See attachment

72 was given, and it is a vertical angle so it’s vertical angle is congruent (same) 72.

You can find the other missing angles with supplementary angle theory, two angles will equal 180 degrees, so 180 - 72 = 108.
The 108 angle is also a vertical angle so it’s vertical angle is also 108 degrees.
